2022 La Nonciature Rouge, Domaine de la Présidente, Châteauneuf-du-Pape

A marked red Châteauneuf-du-Pape with ripe fruit, spice and solid structure. Domaine de la Présidente has 20 hectares of vineyards in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, of which 17 hectares are dedicated to red wine, and the La Nonciature Rouge cuvée is made from the estate's best parcels with limited production. It is a blend of classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape grape varieties such as Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, with hand-harvested grapes from low yields and careful selection, vinified in temperature-controlled tanks and matured in French oak barrels. Aroma of ripe black and red berries, black olives, spice, liquorice and a hint of truffle. The palate is dense with fruit, structured tannins, warm spices and a mineral undertone, with a full-bodied and concentrated mouthfeel and a promising ageing potential.
